Scientific paper

ASTROSATwill be launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation in 2007 for a 5-year mission. The observatory consists of four X-ray telescopes and two UV imaging telescopes (UVIT), all co-aligned and operating simultaneously. CSA has partnered with ISRO to provide the photon-counting UV detectors for UVIT. The Canadian science team will share the UVIT team time, and the Canadian community will use 5% of the open time. We describe the instruments and highlight the science that will be possible with UVIT.
